Recently, all aspects of the "King of Sea Thief" are full of explosions. Since entering the country of Harmony, the quality of animation has been visible to the naked eye, and after Lufei Fruit Awakening opened the fifth gear, the animation has entered a mode of risking life and death to pile up painting resources, and there are more original battle plots. the discomfort brought by the drama of the country of Harmony makes the final battle between Luffy and Kado exciting. As for the cartoon, Lufei was promoted to the four emperors after the first World War in Kaido, and the King of Sea Thieves basically entered the final part of the main line. Yellow ape finally changed its former sloppiness and began to get serious. Lu Feisheng's first battle between the four queens and the master is about to begin.

Of course, in addition to comics and animation, Netflix's live-action TV series have also been released recently. At present, there are a total of eight words, each word is about 60 minutes, the story happens to fly out to sea from the very beginning to play the early boss Aaron, officially heading for the great route. After being shocked by the ape god gun, which is currently the most fierce blow on the island, what kind of experience can we have when we look back on the simple and original "Sea Thief King"? Today we are going to talk about Netflix, the real-life version of the King of Thief.

The live version of the King of Thieves can be traced back to 2017 at the earliest. On July 21, 2017, Hiroshi Nakano, editor-in-chief of the magazine, announced that "King of the Sea Thief" would be a live-action version of the American TV series, jointly produced by tomorrow's studio and Netflix, at the 20th anniversary of the weekly Jump series held by the Tokyo Sea Thief Tower ONE PIECE LIVE ATTRACTION.

After that, the project was in full swing, and Oda even issued a statement through Netflix. At present, he serves as an executive producer and participates in the supervision of the eight words. Until this year, he even said that the first eight words had been remade partly because he was dissatisfied. According to theory, there should be nothing wrong with the original author personally supervising the production.

But since the first trailer was released, there has been a lot of resentment about Netflix, a live-action version of the King of Thief, especially in the actor's casting. Why is Usop black? Why is Nami a slightly fat village girl? As a matter of fact, Oda also participated in the casting of the live version of the King of the Sea Thief. Live-action casting began in June 2020, and in July officials hinted that the main actors would come from nine different countries. Eiichiro Oda also said afterwards that he had been in the worldwide casting audition.

It can also be seen in the interview between Luffy actor Inaki Godoy and author Junichiro Oda that he did not compromise in this regard. Especially from Inaki Godoy, Mexico, according to Oda's original words, you are like the character out of my cartoon.

Inaki Godoy is basically the role of Oda. Among the many auditions, only his energy and smile are most similar to Luffy, which is the main reason why Oda chose him.

Oda has also considered it, including other actors, such as Sauron's Shinda Kensuke. Because of his excellent martial arts performance in the heart of the ronin, Shinda was also selected as an actor for Sauron, who is also a swordsman.

So why have you worked hard on the actors, but the actual performance of the characters is still not so satisfactory? So we have to talk about the real-life version of the King of Thief.

The problem of making makeup, which can not be seen in trailers and posters, can be seen after the positive film is released. First of all, there is a natural difference in physique because the actors come from different countries. This also led to the originally strong Xintian Shinjiyou, who looked short and thin when compared with others, not as tall and strong as Sauron was, and even worse than Shanzhi. And because the make-up style is done in the direction of young fresh meat (such as eyebrows and eye makeup), the face does not look very matching. As a result of this superposition, Sauron looks a lot worse than the original.

As for the other problem of makeup, it is the control of exaggeration. People who have seen the original film should find such a problem. You said that his makeup restoration is not enough, clown Bucky, and Aaron, and so on, the degree of reduction is very high. But you have to say that he is very restored, his Usop's long nose has not been restored. Do you think he's trying to save money? He obviously made several other more exaggerated shapes.

On the whole, it still falls to the question of whether the random reform should be restored or real. Characters such as Bucky and Aaron, which are very characteristic and exaggerated, certainly do not have to think about real problems. But such as Namei, Usop itself does not have a particularly exaggerated shape, so how far should it be restored? It is obvious that the live version of the King of Thieves chose the real side.

Take Naomi as an example, people remember that Nami has a small waist and large breasts, but this figure is almost non-existent unless it is technologically advanced. It is impossible for actors to use technology for this role, so if they want big breasts, the whole is as "plump" as it is now. If you want to have a small waist, your chest may have to shrink a little bit. Of course, from the aesthetic point of view of foreigners, it must still be important to have big breasts.

As for Nami's makeup, if you have seen other photos of actress Emily, or even interviews, you will find that she does not look as old as she is in the film. Like Sauron's problem, there's something wrong with the makeup choice, and. You can't be a makeup artist from Yuanyu, are you?

It can be said that most of the problems with the live-action characters of the King of Thief are actually in terms of makeup and styling, and the influence of the actors' own acting skills is only about 30%.

In addition to the character modeling, the most criticized part of this live-action version is the play part. Although there are not many fighting and fighting elements in the original "King of the Sea Thief", especially in the early fighting, it is simple and unpretentious like shouting skills to display pose, which also leads to the fact that there are not many fight scenes that one can watch, and most of what he can see is concentrated in Sauron, who plays with swords.

But Sauron's several battles in the live-action film were not wonderful, and even in a few scenes he did not cut a man, and the man fell. Although there are some tricks in the action design, the action itself is slow and stiff, and lack of consistency, which makes it look stupid. But you said that Xintian Meijianyou can't play with knives, because people have filmed "the heart of the ronin". Let's just say that. It won't cost much to hire a better martial arts instructor.

The iron-hitting sound effect and air-breaking sound effect in the process of knife fighting are all added later, but why …... After all, our props are not made of iron.

(the case was solved, Lufei No. 5 imposed the nature of rubber on Hedao.) the failure of martial arts guidance and the problem of kickbacks on props caused Sauron to cut people, fight knives, and even later duel with Hawkeye, which all looked very weird. lack of strength and speed, generally speaking, a little attack special effects can be solved, but this live version really likes to pursue reality in strange places. There are no chopping and strike special effects at all.

(huh? How dare you make a close-up of this working prop?! After talking about these hardware issues, let's talk about the most important issue for rambling, the degree of plot reduction. As Oda played in person, most of the plots were quite good, and several famous scenes, such as red hair to save Lufei's hand, red hair to Lufei's hat, Lufei's hat to Nami, and so on, were all quite good.

But similarly, due to the problem of space, there are a lot of deletions in Bucky's chapter and Aaron's chapter, which are understandable, but some of the details are unacceptable. For example, when Luffy and Kirby went to find the great route map at the beginning, Kirby was present at the end of the original battle, and asked Luffy to kill the bad navy. Here, on the other hand, Kirby was separated from the battle and did not see the navy do evil. This also led to the lack of part of the arc of the whole character of Kirby, and his growth after that, his understanding of the navy and justice became a little abrupt.

Bucky's plot strengthens his feelings for red hair. The live-action version of Bucky loses the interest of the original and looks serious as a whole. of course, this piece also explains why Lufei's hat is a good problem every time he fights.

(it turns out that Na Mei sewed up every fight) changed some details, and similarly, the live version also added some details, such as red hair scaring away the king of the sea with domineering, the original work did not have special special effects, and the live version here added a period of slow motion and eye special effects, perhaps here also hinted at Red-Haired Shanks's domineering color.

In addition to red hair, there are also some changes to Karp. Karp in the live version of King of the Thief is obviously much more serious, and it also adds a lot of plot between him and Kirby, which can be regarded as laying the groundwork for taking Kirby as an apprentice.

On the whole, the live-action script of "King of the Sea Thief" accounts for almost 70% in terms of reduction. after all, the space is limited, and it is quite normal for Oda as an executive producer. Most of the changes and deletions also have to be reviewed by him, so in this live-action drama, we can see some of them. Looking back from the current perspective, Oda's mentality and ideas have changed.

Finally, the current "King of the Sea Thief" live version of Douban score 7.9, there seems to be an upward trend, while IGN due to the lack of reduction of the plot to give 6 points. From the actual point of view, the real-life version of "King of the Sea Thief" can still be seen. There is no bombing of the island, no domineering, and the unadorned atmosphere of the early stage can still bring people back to that time. Netflix announced that there should be 10 words in the first season, and there are still 2 words left. Judging from the appearance of the smoke man in the last scene of the eighth word, the last two words should be played until the smoke man is hunted, Daddy takes the stage, and Lufei officially enters the Great Airway, and then comes the second season. Although I don't know what position Netflix intends to capture in the end, I just hope to maintain the current level, and I guess I won't be able to watch it again.
